A noodle shop owner in the area called Athikhom, 32, said he heard a loud bang while watching TV.

 

The deceased was a regular customer often dropping in after his shift as a security man, he said.

100m away?    Must have been going at a fair lickety spit.

The elderly are regularly killed while crossing the roads here. 

 

Note the modded bike with illegal lights. 

I am always concerned about the Thai habit of wearing black or dark clothes.

I understand that they do not show the dirt like white ones do, but black/dark clothes attract mosquitoes, retain the heat and make it almost impossible to see people on the roads at night.

"Wear something white at night".
